She was just trying to take her kids to the Rio Grande. Or
that's what Oriana Ferrell says in this newly released dashcam footage from an Oct. 28 incident
outside of Taos, New Mexico.

The video shows Ferrell being pulled over in a minivan for
going 71 miles per hour in a 55 miles per hour zone. Ferrell, with her five
children in the car, begins arguing with the officer. As the cop walks back
toward his car to write her a ticket, Ferrell pulls away from the scene and is
again pulled over immediately by the same officer.

The police officer tries to pull Ferrell out of the car and
when this happens, her 14-year-old son momentarily gets out of the car to defend his mother but is
stopped when the cop pulls out his Taser. A larger scuffle ensues, the
14-year-old rushes the policeman, and by the time backup arrives, one officer uses
a baton to break the window of the van. Another cop, naturally, pulls out his gun and fires
three shots at the back of the minivan filled with children ages six to 18, three of whom
were in the backseat.

Ferrell then dangerously led police on a four-minute
chase through the streets of Taos and eventually pulled into a hotel where
she was arrested with five
counts of abuse of a child, aggravated fleeing an officer, resisting an officer,
reckless driving and possession of drug paraphernalia. The Taos
News reports that two marijuana pipes were found in the car. Ferrell's
14-year-old son was also arrested with battery of an officer.

According to KRQE,
State Police are not releasing the names of the officers involved in the
incident and while their actions have led to an internal
investigation, but the men have not been removed from active duty.
